NIGP 80590: Volleyball Equipment

NIGP 80590 Volleyball Equipment, an Item code, encompasses nets, posts, boundary systems, and associated hardware for competitive and recreational courts. State and local governments procure complete court installations—including net systems with adjustable heights, aluminum posts, custom logos, sand-based anchoring, and corrosion-resistant hardware for saltwater environments—as well as catalog-discount programs providing ongoing access to balls, uniforms, apparel, and consumable supplies for school athletic programs. The issuing-body mix spans county parks departments, independent school districts, and state university systems; school districts represent the most active segment, using both competitive bids for annual supplies and cooperative purchasing vehicles to establish multi-vendor approved lists. Recent solicitations show districts pursuing catalog-discount and as-needed purchasing models rather than fixed-quantity contracts, reflecting operational flexibility in equipment refresh and replacement cycles.

Activity spreads across Florida, Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut, with school districts in South Texas (Cameron County, particularly Donna ISD and Los Fresnos CISD) and Florida (Marion County, Sarasota County) visible in recent postings. Sarasota County issued a competitive RFQ (2026QQ738) on June 9, 2026 for design, supply, and installation of four complete volleyball court systems at Siesta Beach, with response due June 26, 2026. Donna ISD (Cameron County, Texas) posted a catalog-discount RFP (RFP 011326-886) on March 21, 2026 for volleyball equipment and supplies covering apparel, shoes, nets, balls, carts, and accessories, due April 8, 2026 for the 2026-2027 school year. The Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA) released a statewide cooperative procurement (AEPA #027-E) for athletic supplies and equipment spanning 31 state member agencies including Georgia, with sealed bids due August 13, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. ET. Los Fresnos CISD issued RFP #26-27-01 on February 18, 2026 seeking an approved vendor list for physical education and athletic equipment across 13 sports including volleyball, due March 24, 2026.
